The local book store even thanked me for ordering it and now has it on their shelves! My colleagues have mixed opinions, some feel it has links to the First World War; especially Part 3 when the Varmint wears a round cap like a military helmet together with the illustration of the poppy seed. One thing for certain is that the message is strong; despite all the destruction there is hope.

Wonderful graphic novel, touching, inspiring, definitely not only for children. Intelligently educative, gently pushing important messages about our reality, about humanity. Definitely a book with one or even a few morals. I wish children would really be learnt from books like this one, maybe world would look differently then :) I had it in my hands and this is one of those most incredible “comicbooks” I’ve ever seen in my whole life.
